To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOEL A. VCOPPRIDGE, a citizen of the United States,and a resident o f Browns Summit, in the county of Guilford and State of`North Carolina, have made certain new and useful Improvements inBaking-Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is an improvement in bakingstoves, being especiallydesigned as a stove for use in baking bread and has for an object toprovide a simple construction which will be etlicient for the purpose,can be easily taken apart and stored in compact form so it will beconvenient for camping purposes; and the invention consists in certainnovel constructions and combinations of parts as will be hereinafterdescribed and claimed.

ln the drawings lFigure 1 is a perspective view of a stove embodying myinvention, one of the pans being partially opened, and one of the doorsbeing removed. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the stove on about line2-2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a detail top plan view of one of the rearcorners of the stove showing the means for holding the back plate. Fig.4 is a detail vertical sect-ion on -`about line 4 4 of .F ig.2. Fig. 5is a detail perspective View showing parts of one of the side dues, andof the central ilue,and

one of the cross lues extending between said side and central flues, andFig. 6 is a detail perspective view illustrating one ot the damperslides and a part of the intermediate or central flue.

In carrying out my invention I provide upright flues A, A and B, whichfor convenience of reference l term the side lues A and the central orintermediate flue B, and these lues extend from front to rear of thestove as will be understood from Figs. 1, 4 and 5, and they are providedon their adjacent aces,ythat is the sides of the flues A and B whichface each other, with nipples A and B which are elongated horizontallyand extend nearly the full depth of the iues A and B, and receive theends of the cross Hues D, which connect the side flues and intermediateflue and operate to conduct theJ products` of combustion between saidparts in the operation of the invention as will be presently described.The cross llues D form supports for the baking pans E and partitionsbetween which the said pans are located when"` inserted in the stove asbest` Specication of Letters Patent.

l shown in Figs. 2 and 4 of the drawings. When the side lues and thecentral ue are in place and connected by the cross flues D, they areheld by tie rods F, extending through the stove from side to side andusually passed below the upper cross flue D and below the lower crossflue as shown in Fig. 4 of the drawings.

The upper side of the top flue forms the openings for the lids G, asshown in Figs. 1, 2 and 4 of the drawings. The front plate H is providedwith suitable openings H for the door plates I covering the front endsof the fire boxes J, and this front plate H is held to Qthe stove by therods Kp, extending through lugs A2 at the b ack of the flues A, thencealong the outer Vsides of the flues A and through'lugs H2 on the frontplates and secured by keys as best shown in Fig. 1. This constructionenablesrne to secure the front plate firmly in posltion so it can bereadily removed whenever desired.

Openings H3 y are formed in the front plate H, for the introduction ofthe pans E, and l also provide said front plate with openings for thepassage of the damper rods E of the damper plates L, the latter-havingopenings L2 which may be moved into and out of register with openings B21n the cenples B as will be understood from Figs.4 and 6 of thedrawings. The damper plates L are .movable longitudinally in suitableguides B3 provided on the side plates of the central flue and the damperis stopped when moved in one direction by the back plate M, and whenmoved in the other or forward d1- rection by the front plate H. ,Thesedarnpers may be manipulated to control thepassage of the heat from theside lilies below their respective pans thus regulating the bakingoperation as will be readily understood by those skilled in the art. Theback plate M slides down in suitable keepers N, rovided on the sidellues A, andrests at its ower end in keepers lN as shown in Fig. 4 ofthe drawings.

The opening at the lower part of the back of the stove asshown in Fig. 4may be found useful in manipulating ashes from the back of the stove.

O enings -A10 are rovided y,leadin from .the re boxes J into t vesidelues an open-Y ings ,B10 likewise lead from the lire boxesd into thecentral flue A, the openings B10 top plate of the stove and may havesuitable soA tral Hue and communicating with the nipy into the side duesfor circulation as will be understood from Fig. 2 of the drawings.

Plates O are slidable in suitable guides A13 and B13 on the viues A andB to the position shown in Fig. 2, and form Ventilating lues P below thelower .iiues D, openings M in the back plate and openings I in the doorplates lI admitting air to the Ventilating iues to prevent any undueheating in the bottom pans by reason of their proximity to the flreboxes.

The doorlates I rest at their lower edges in keepers 2, and are 'held attheir upper edges lby turn-buttons I5, so they can be easily removed andreplaced, and these plates I are provided with openings and with doorsIl1 for closing the same, the doors being suitably hinged at- Il5 andlatched at I, as best shown in Fig. l of the drawings.
